“…It indicates that the government's effort regarding natural calamities and their effects on the community plays a significant role in an individual developing a protective behavior toward natural calamities. This result was established by Wen and Chang [139], wherein the involvement of the government was an essential factor in the disaster resilience of a country, especially in developing policies and guidelines concerning mitigating the impacts of natural disasters. Additionally, DeYoung and Peters [140] found that a community's disaster resilience and preparedness heavily rely on their confidence in the government.…”

The Philippines is considered one of the most vulnerable and susceptible countries to the effects of natural disasters due to its location. Therefore, the country needs to be resilient to the natural calamities it faces yearly. The research aimed to determine the factors that affect the protective behavior of Filipinos during natural disasters by integrating protective motivation theory, the theory of planned behaviors, and ergonomic appraisals, and by adding variables such as knowledge and geographical perspectives. PLS-SEM was used to determine the significant factors that affect protective behavior. A questionnaire was developed and distributed to 302 Filipinos in the Philippines through a digital survey using Google forms. The analysis showed that the intention to prepare is the most significant factor affecting their protective behavior, followed by macro and physical ergonomics. Aside from this, attitudes, perceived severity, self-efficacy, response efficacy, response cost, and subjective norms were found to influence their intention to prepare significantly. Furthermore, understanding natural calamities significantly influences an individual’s perceived severity. However, the geographical perspective, perceived vulnerability, perceived behavioral control, and cognitive ergonomics were found to have an insignificant influence on protective behavior for natural calamities. The study findings could be used as a basis for household units or the national government to build disaster management plans and resilience programs. Aside from this, it can also be used by researchers as a basis for exploring other areas that may affect the protective behavior of individuals to prepare for natural calamities worldwide.

“…The number of people affected by natural disasters was higher under leftwing than rightwing governments: Wen and Chang (2015) used data for 30 countries over the period . Government ideology is measured by common party family indicator assuming values -1, 0 and 1, an indicator that also uses the party seat shares as weights for the party family.…”

Partisan Politics: The Empirical Evidence from OECD Panel Studies Abstract This paper describes the empirical evidence on partisan politics in OECD panel studies. I elaborate on the research designs, the measurement of government ideology and why the empirical studies do not and cannot derive causal effects. Discussing about 100 panel data studies, the results indicate that leftwing and rightwing governments pursued different economic policies until the 1990s: the size and scope of government was larger when leftwing governments were in power. Partisan politics have not disappeared since the 1990s, but have certainly become less pronounced. In particular, government ideology still seems to influence policies such as privatization and market deregulation. I discuss the consequences of declining electoral cohesion and what future research needs to explore. JEL-Codes: D720, H000, C230. Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may

“…Meteorological disasters in this article include droughts, floods, landslides, debris flow, typhoons, disasters of hail, low temperature, frost, and snow. According to Wen and Chang (2015), we use three variables (loss, affected, mortality) to effectively quantify all meteorological disaster losses.…”

How meteorological disasters affect the labor market? The moderating effect of government emergency response policy

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Natural disasters and climate change impose a severe threat to the sustainable development of economy and human society. This paper studies the economic consequences of meteorological disasters specifically to the wages income and unemployment. Using panel data from 31 provinces in China from 2010 to 2018 as a sample, it examines the relationship between meteorological disasters and labor market, and then verifies the moderating effect of government emergency response policy which is obtained through big data crawler technology. The results show that meteorological disasters will increase the level of unemployment, and at the same time increase the wage income of urban and rural people; while government emergency response policy only plays a moderating role between meteorological disasters and urban wage income. Although this paper focuses on China geographically, the overall conclusions presented in this article have strong policy implications for other regions in developing countries facing the challenge of meteorological disasters.
